The TV matches are never picked so soon, but also the early kick off will be on BT for the following 3 seasons, which is another giveaway that this is bullshit

Teams in the league for 19/20 that we have never played on opening day of a PL season:
Woolwich
Bournemouth
Brighton
Burnley
Chelsea
Leicester
Norwich
Sheffield United
Watford
Wolves
We haven't had a home league opener since 2010 - surely we get one this year.
I'm going home to Bournemouth - 2-0 win.

I genuinely wouldn't mind one of the big guns away - like Liverpool or Man City. Get the fuckers out the way before they get ahead of steam.
Ooh! Could we be top of the table for the first time since 3 heady hours in 2014
I tell you what though, our last 11 games of the season look well alright if we're challenging.
Moaning already!
We're playing City, scum, dipper and utd away first.
GHASTLY FIXTURES!!!
...joking, though the first few HOME games are certainly 'balanced' shall we say by the first few AWAY!!
Still, as i'm starting to believe more and more, the old adage of "you've got to play everyone at some point" is true to an extent... it doesn't half help to play teams at certain points of the season, when they may be in/or out of form...
problem is, you never know until you get to that point of the season whether they are in or out of form!!
I bet plenty of teams (except fucking West Ham) were bemoaning the fact we've moved into NWHL when we did, as it clearly gave us an advantage in the CL game against City, and most probably got us over the line in the race for 4th....
Liverpool & Man City's astonishing early season runs last year, were due, in part, to the fact they were playing some teams who were horribly out of form/exhausted from the WC (yes, i'm referring to us!) ...and benefited from it no end!
That gave them both the momentum to rack up points early, so that when they did face other teams further into the season, they were already miles ahead and 'a fearsome proposition'... other teams wilt under that kind of intimidation!
We need to get POINTS ON THE BOARD EARLY!
....make a statement to the rest, then let them worry about us!!
